Migrating issues, tasks, and projects from Jira to Monday.com is a crucial step when transitioning project management platforms. Whether your team is shifting tools, consolidating data, or merging teams, Getint’s Migration Feature ensures an accurate and structured transfer of historical data.
Unlike standard integrations, which sync new and updated items, the migration feature allows for bulk transfer of existing items while maintaining their associated data, including custom fields, relationships, and hierarchies.
This guide walks you through the step-by-step process of setting up and executing a Jira to Monday migration using Getint.
Migrating historical data requires a migration license, as a standard integration license will not suffice. Migration licenses are billed separately from integration licenses.
To acquire a migration license, please visit our and click on the Migration tab for more details. Contact our team through our to proceed with your purchase.
Before purchasing a license, you can test the migration with a trial version, which allows:
Up to 20 migration runs
A maximum of 5 items per run
To access the trial version, follow the steps here:
Also, see our full migration guide: .
Before you begin, ensure that all custom fields required on both Jira and Monday.com are created and available. If a counterpart field is missing on either side, it must be created first to allow mapping.
If a field in Jira doesn’t have a direct counterpart in Monday.com (e.g., assignees, priority), you can still capture its value by using a custom text field and the Use label from the other side option.
Steps:
Create a custom Text field in Monday.com.
In the field mapping screen, select the Jira field to be migrated and map it to the new custom field in Monday.
Enable Use label from the other side.
This approach will insert the label/value of the original field into the destination field. Especially helpful for migrating the Assignees. You probably don’t want to recreate the accounts of people no longer in the company in Jira. This way, no mapping is required; we will inject the value to a text field.
Once your integration is set, open the Getint App and:
Click Migrate Data from the left-side menu.
Check the Enable Migration on the Next Run box to proceed.
Migration Direction: Define whether data flows from Jira to Monday or vice versa.
Handling of Previously Migrated Items: Choose how to handle items that were already migrated:
Replace (overwrite existing items).
Update (sync only new changes).
Skip (ignore already migrated items).
Selective Resync (Optional): If a previous migration was incomplete, choose specific fields to resync, such as Assignee, Status, and Description.
To resync all fields, enter ALL.
Selective Item Migration (Optional):
Enter specific item IDs to migrate only selected tasks.
Use JQL filtering for refined selection.
Important: Ensure that your JQL filter or item IDs align with the creation/updating date range to avoid missing items during migration.
Time Range Filtering:
Select a creation date range in the UTC timezone.
Only issues created or updated within the selected period will be migrated.
Click Schedule Migration to queue the process.
The system will begin migration during the next synchronization run.
Monitor progress in the Reporting section or the Latest Runs tab.
If you want to keep the items in sync after migration:
Open the Integration Settings.
Click More > Enable Continuous Sync.
You can also uncheck the box below when you are setting up the migration.
This ensures that newly created tasks, issues, and updates flow between Jira and Monday.com moving forward.
Traditional CSV imports require manual data manipulation and lack automation, often leading to data loss and inconsistency. Getint eliminates these issues by providing:
✔ Getint enables precise manual field mapping, ensuring correct data alignment ❌ CSV imports require manual restructuring after import
✔ Getint supports JQL filtering, item ID selection, and date-based migration ❌ CSV imports transfer all data, requiring manual clean-up
✔ Getint provides sync logs, error tracking, and live migration updates ❌ CSV imports offer no real-time feedback
✔ Getint automatically syncs data post-migration ❌ CSV imports require additional steps to align projects and workflows
For any custom field creation steps, refer to our guide:
You can also migrate values from multiple source fields into one text field. You can read more about how to set up this option
